Build, think, learn, and play! This camp will explore simple machines and focus on science we can't see - like forces, motion, and physical interactions. LEGO Builders is a camp for 7, 8, & 9-year old STEM explorers to get hands-on experience by building LEGO creations that demonstrate physical science & engineering concepts. Campers work in groups to solve engineering challenges, tapping into their creativity while collaborating to build their own unique solutions. This is not a LEGO Robotics camp - instead, campers will tackle challenges and build their own creations using LEGO bricks & pieces - mostly unplugged! Great for developing creative problem-solving skills while having fun building with LEGOS. No experience required. Camp runs Monday through Friday, 9:00am to 3:30pm.
